I love this sketch D237. Made quick cards with this sketch :)
Usual paper scraps from 7Gypsies and Cosmo Cricket. The layering circle is from Hero Arts, inked with Tim Holtz red barn distress ink. Hohoho is stamped using my kid's stamp kid from Melissa and Doug. I hope this is 'playful' enough! :D

This is what Elaine is going to get after I kinda delayed 2months getting this album done. Ugghh.. snail, and distraction of card making! Hope she likes it. There are a lot of blank pages for her and parents to play around with. Open ended journal and pages can be added to it too. It's is also my first time wrapping with a brown bag with washi tape.

I'm so LATE, getting old and forgetful ...Late late late.. 1wk and 1.5wks late. Quick done up for a 2yr and 3yr old to add to their pressie (To hunt tomorrow!). Think it's up to the moms if they want to keep the cards. Hahaa... Anyway pray hard I can find something for them

365cards d222 Stamping Saturday - obviously late for the challenge, think I missed the deadline. Anyway, I did this tonight with watermark ink on brown cardstock (the brown which I don't quite fancy very much). I thought the effect was great. I took all the snowflakes Prima X'mas stamp bunch and just put them onto the 6x6 acrylic block. And just went stamping crazy. I also double stamped JOY. All patterned paper from Sweet Threads and plain DCWV cardstock.

I made 4 cards tonight, this is my 1st landscape card.. So anyway, it's ok to have a black based X'mas card right? Oh well, doesn't matter when it comes with lots of red isn't? From a combination of 7Gypsies Lille stamp, Odds and ends, Maya mist, and some twine.. I guess it makes the black base card decent enough for X'mas...

Past few nights after the kids knocked out, I made 2 cards... simple but still take me 2 hrs to decide what to do .... Tada....

First card tag is made of white cardstock stamped with pigment ink wrapped in twine. Love this part :)Patterned paper used is from Basic Grey Sweet Threads, 7Gypsies Mykonos and Cosmo Cricket Odds and Ends

Second card JOY was also stamped with Brown Sugar pigment ink. Gold chalk ink on cardstock, only 7Gypsies Mykonos is used in this card. I used my kids' thrift shop kids' paint brush to faux create 'snow' using silver and white chalk ink. Looks real? :D
